Austin Independent School District

The number of COVID-19 patients in Central Texas hospitals reached a significant threshold Sunday, triggering increased business restrictions. The AISD superintendent said the district is "joining the call to action" by encouraging virtual learning, but clarified that schools are not closing.

Before winter break, the school district considered canceling classes altogether next week since the city moved into stage 5 of Austin Public Health's risk-based guidelines.

Noelita Lugo defeated Leticia Caballero for the at-large seat, and Lynn Boswell won against Jennifer Littlefield for the District 5 position.

Seats are up for election on the Austin City Council, the Austin ISD school board and Georgetown City Council.

More than 900 teachers in the district were denied medical accommodations to teach virtually. Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde says the policy changed as more students came back to in-person learning.

Lynn Boswell and Jennifer Littlefield are facing off in a runoff for the District 5 seat on the Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees.
